I haven't seen Captain America #25 yet, won't for another couple of weeks, so it would have been pretty pointless for me to attempt to remain unspoiled. I know roughly what goes on there, it'd be hard not to. But clearly I'm not going to write about a comic I haven't read yet.
What I will do is cast my vote for who, if anyone, ought to take Cap's place during his "vacation."
The Falcon.
Seriously, he's the logical choice. And the Falcon is awesome! (And I don't think I'm just saying that because, way back in the 70s when I started reading Cap's book, the words on the cover were Captain America and the Falcon.)

I'd vote for the Winter Soldier (aka "Bucky"). It would be a great way to get him out of the shadows and reacquainted with Cap's world.
xbI've grown fond of the Winter Soldier, but I really prefer him as the Winter Soldier, as an outsider, at this point--I think he's a lot more interesting operating that way. Not that there couldn't be some good angst-filled stories about him trying to fill Cap's boots as well...
But I'd still really like to see the Falcon take on that job for a while. The only difficulty I see is that Sam has somewhat different abilities--mainly the flying thing--but he also has excellent combat skills and has worked extensively with Cap in contemporary Marvel continuity.
